Digital Transformation in Education and Libraries
In today’s digital age, it is not common to find many students still using books for their research and for studying. However, there are certain courses that still require the use of physical books.
Digital Transformation in Education
Not all chapters of a book may be relevant to a student, especially books that seem to be never-ending. Having a compact scanner available in a library would allow for easier and more efficient access since it means that the book is always available. The student would scan and print the chapter that they need rather than borrowing the entire book. In addition, the student would not be restricted to a loan period since the chapter/s they need will be in their possession. The student would also be able to take notes directly next to the text.
Furthermore, a scanner can prove to be beneficial in a classroom as well. This would allow a lecturer to scan specific text they need and show it directly to the students instead of simply referring to it. This is especially beneficial in remote learning which has been on the rise since the Covid-19 pandemic, and which remains to be a norm since it facilitates distance learning for people who are not present in the same country where their course is being held.
With an IRIS scanner, you wouldn’t have to spend a huge amount of money which would allow for funds to be used on other projects, while still investing in something that would benefit both students and teachers. In addition to being beneficial, the scanners are lightweight and do not take up any space.
